Deadliest Catch

The Lionfish a known fish around the world. They are red and white zebra striped. They have pectoral fins that have a venom in them to kill their pray. Whenever your in an aquarium that glass would normally say "Do not touch" because if you do you have about 30 or so minutes to get to the nearest hopital. They have 18 needled dorsal fins that actually carry the venom. They rely on camoflage and lightening to capture pray and they mostly eat like shrimp or other fish. For a Lionfish they can live up to 15 years and the largest Lionfish is 15 inches long. Some people around the world actually eat Lionfish. The Lionfish is also called the Turkey fish, dragon fish, and scorpion fish. They aren active to the reefs and rocky crevices of the Indo-Pacific.

Learning about the Lionfish is different. I have always been attracted to them mainly because they looked cool. But after learning that they are deadly, I plan to keep my distance between them. After everything I have learned about them the weirdest thing is that people eat them. And now I know that the Lionfish also has many different names, not just called the Lionfish.

Sodium and Hurricane Mixtures

When there is a Hurricane there can be a fresh water or salt water hurricane. If a hurricane scoops up salt from the ocean obviously it is a salt water hurricane. Some hurricanes can be a mixture between salt and fresh water which is called Brackish water which is too salty. 35 per million salt gets mixed in with freshwater. After it is mixed it head inland and can destroy anything and everything. A salt water hurricane is more damaging than a fresh water hurricane. Water alone can damage electronic equipment but salt water is way worse. Salt has chemical properties that are very reactive. Salt mostly reacts with any manmade equipment. If saltwater goes underground like a tunnel  it can destroy everything and it would take months or maybe even years to fix.


After researching about sodium and the things it can do is good to know for anything. If I ever want to destroy something for fun I would defiantly use salt. I never really salt can do all the things that it can do. I never thought about salt being used for damaging, all I thought salt was for food and in the ocean. Learning about how salt water can destroy an underground tunnel is extravagant.

The Worst Possible Disaster that Could Happen to Earth

The Worst Possible Disaster that Could Happen to Earth

      If the worst possible disaster happened to Earth then there probably would not be anything left. Asteroids the size of Texas could hit Earth. Near the side of the galaxy are dust clouds with agglomerations of hydrogen gas, small molecules, and different kinds of minerals. It would take about 500 years to cross Earth. If the Solar System hits Earth it would take 100,000 years to pop out on the other side of Earth. Dust accumulated in the atmosphere blocked light from the sun. The oceans would freeze over and plants would die off, leading to no life on Earth. Underwater volcanoes can form and spill hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. About 250,000 million years ago 90 percent of mammals died off and 70 percent of land animals died off as well. Scientist thought that was the world's worst possible disaster. Upsides to the worst disasters would be bacteria and other microorganisms can lead to hitting the restart button for Earth.

Tornadoes

Tornadoes

This blog I am going to be talking about Tornadoes. Tornadoes form when cold and warm air mixes together.  Tornadoes happen when there's a thunderstorm. It creates hail, lighting, and rain. After the rain passes it's creates a funnel and descends onto land. It can destroy anything in it's path. As the pressure drops, it causes moisture in the air to condense. When tornadoes are happening there is a loud hissing sound when it is descending but once it hits the ground it creates a big loud roar.When it increases in wind speeds the temperature decreases. While the tornado is moving it picks up debris and throws it everywhere. Whenever there is a tornadoe you want to get to a room with no windows and is inclosed. 
I think tornadoes are cool but dangerous. Being in a tornadoe is not fun at all. I've been in a tornadoe once in Oklahoma it was really scary when it all started but it died down a little. All I remember was being outside and watching all of the clouds just shape into one huge monster cloud. And then my Uncles friends house catching on fire. I was about 7 when that happened and I was just in complete shock when it was happening.
